Long before the band was even named, Deadtide was born in the fall of '06 when Mike contacted Phil on Facebook looking to start a metal band. Phil had posted a few metal riff videos on YouTube and encouraged Mike to post his own, too. YouTube was still in its infancy and they had no idea that along with a handful of other metal musicians, they would pioneer an entire community of metalheads who shared their riffs & songs on what is today one of the top 3 highest trafficked websites in the world. The rest is metal history...

Deadtide's musical foundation is melodic death metal. Unlike most other melodeath bands, Deadtide has 3 guitarists for a more full effect both in-studio and live on stage. More facts about the band can be found on our Myspace page (link under "Website" section).

We launched our fan page on here only a year ago and we want to connect on Facebook with all our 20,000+ YouTube subscribers! Like our page so we can update you on our progress in the studio and let you know when our EP comes out!
